“Book Descriptions: In this first ever life story of Fethullah G�len, Jon Pahl explores the story of one of the most controversial figures of our times both as the personal biography of the person from Turkey to the United States and the public biography of the social movement he has inspired. The central question the book addresses is how did a pious Muslim boy born in a tiny and remote Turkish village come to inspire a global movement of millions of individuals dedicated to literacy, social enterprise, and interreligious dialogue? A related question follows immediately: how did Fethullah G�len, that pious Muslim boy who became a global religious leader, also motivate animosity that has led him to be jailed repeatedly, to be monitored by police and intelligence agencies, and (most recently) to be slandered as a "terrorist?"” DRIVE
